New Style Idea

Katie Holmes didn’t let the unexpected warmer weather in New York this week go to waste.

As temperatures rose for a few days, Holmes stepped out in Manhattan alongside her beau Emilio Vitolo Jr. yesterday for a stroll across the city. Matching with the restauranteur in Evolvetogether face masks, the “Dawson’s Creek”  alumna opted for a coordinating black thin-strap crop top and ultra high-rise black flare jeans.

While Vitolo Jr. went for classic Reebok sneakers for the outing, Holmes kept with her signature style in her go-to kicks from Common Projects.

The pair with its exposed stitched and layered panels creates an easy to pair appeal, matchable to any ensemble as Holmes has proved time and time again. The Original Achilles silhouette showcases white uppers with a white rubber sole and finished with a foil-stamped factory ID on the heel. The sneakers retail for $425 and are available at Nordstrom.com.

When it comes to Holmes’ style, the star of “The Secret” movie oftentimes favors on-trend silhouettes that are just as stylish as her outfit of choice. The 41-year-old is known for her top-of-the-line style, matching her go-to fall combo — relaxed pants, an oversize coat and a casual top —with everything from Veja sneakers to Common Projects kicks and flare-heel Dorateymur boots. As the weather heats up, though, you can find the actress in flowy dresses, more lightweight tops and a rotation of easy-going pieces like trending black “ugly” double-strap sandals.

Beyond off-duty style and impeccable footwear taste, Katie Holmes’ experience in the fashion industry earned her the title of an Olay brand ambassador; she also previously served as the face of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Miu Miu, Ann Taylor and more top brands throughout her successful career.
